One pursued upon his bond alleged and offered to prove he was minor and lesed when he granted the same, and he had revoked and raised reduction debito tempore.
Answered for the pursuer; That the defender's allegeance of minority is caluminous, as appears by his father's book, wherein the time of his birth is set down, according to which the defender was five or six days past his minority at his subscribing of the bond; nor can he deny but the book is the hand-writing of his father, who died many years ago.
The Lords allowed a conjunct probation of the defender's age, and declared they would consider at advising the import of the father's book.
